A green salad with orange slices and dried cranberries in it and maybe a soft Mexican cheese crumbled or grated in!  And a nice bright oil and vinegar dressing, maybe with lemon or other citrus juice in it or just use salsa on the salad--give folks their choice.  And Fritos to sprinkle in for crunch?   You can also sprinkle drained and rinsed black beans and corn to add interest.

 

And Spanish rice and a nice chunky guacamole and crispy bean chips.

Re: Tamales...what to serve with them?

        So I grew with tamales...all kinds...cinammon/raisin sweet and red/green chile hot!!  We made them at home. We always had sour cream to go along with all of them.  With the green and red - beans, aquacate and some chile con queso!   With the sweet - hot chocolate on Christmas Eve!!  I've yet to eat  tamales as delicious as those I had growing up....
